AppSec California is the first of hopefully many annual conferences hosted by all of the California chapters. Join us on the beaches of Santa Monica which is closest to our Los Angeles Chapter. Space is limited to around 200 attendees so be sure to get your ticket before we sell out!

Come a little early or stay the rest of the week; however you enjoy it, the weather is likely going to be warmer than where you are. Enjoy the Santa Monica pier and downtown area or explore the surrounding cities. You probably have a client or 10 near by too so say hello to them too.

Stay tuned as activities around the event are updated and more speakers are added to the lineup. A schedule will come at some point.

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule and see who's attending!

Traditionally, defense has been approached without enough emphasis on countering real world attack behaviors. This presentation will cover new network defense techniques from an attack perspective, specifically focusing on building detection systems around initial compromise, persistence/C2, and lateral movement. It will discuss practical methods of alerting on both host and network level persistence, what works (and what doesn’t!) with network traffic anomaly analysis, and useful approaches for correlating weak and strong attack signals. Finally, this presentation will demonstrate effective ways to reduce organizational attack surface, simulate realistic adversaries, and increase cost for attackers.
